Chapter 1070: Chapter 1067: Extravagant Waste

“By the time I got it in my hands, it didn’t look good anymore; but after peeling the skin, it actually looked quite nice.”

“Do you all peel them before eating?” Ye Muyu asked.

Zhao Qingqing nodded, “Yes, no wonder I didn’t recognize it at first. The last time I saw it, it wasn’t this fresh, it just looked like a bunch of red and white splotches.”

Ye Muyu sighed lightly, “Such a waste.”

But considering that extravagance was the norm among rich families, they probably thought peeling it made it more presentable. Eating it with the skin was something the lower-class people did.

“Ah, is that so? I didn’t know, everyone eats them like this. However, strawberries are really rare, even in the palace they aren’t common.”

Once Ye Muyu heard this, an idea sprang to her mind; she thought that not trying to earn money from the rich families would be foolish!

“Lady, the basket has arrived.”

Ye Muyu let Zhao Qingqing take one too.

“Qingqing, you can pick them yourself.”

“Ah, I might damage them,” Zhao Qingqing worried.

“It’s okay, just try it. After picking for a while, we’ll go back and eat,”

Ye Muyu said generously.

Upon hearing that she could eat them, Zhao Qingqing’s hesitation faded away, and she earnestly followed Uncle Li to learn how to pick strawberries.

Ye Muyu called Zhang Shi to bring Chu Ziluo and the others over. The children would undoubtedly enjoy strawberry picking too—such opportunities were rare, and the next chance to pick would be months away.

After instructing him, Ye Muyu didn’t disturb Zhao Qingqing. She walked along the greenhouse, checking on the vegetables’ growth.

Besides strawberries, no other fruits were grown in the greenhouse.

Going deeper, there were various summer vegetables. Ye Muyu took a basket, summoned a long-term laborer to accompany her, and picked some fresh vegetables to send to the Zhao family.

Soon, Chu Ziluo and the others hastened into the greenhouse.

Seeing Ye Muyu’s figure inside, they promptly called out, “Mother.”

“Go pick some strawberries,” Ye Muyu said softly. The children were not strangers to strawberries and naturally knew what they were.

“Ah, strawberries!” Chu Jin was also pleased and hurried over to the strawberries, putting on gloves to join in the picking.

Chu Heng entered behind him. Seeing the greenhouse full of fresh vegetables, he was deeply moved, suddenly thinking of what Lu Chuan had said—that, imperceptibly, his wife had always been helping the common people lead better lives.

He involuntarily followed the direction of his gaze and stepped forward.

Ye Muyu was picking beans. The structure was quite high, so she tiptoed, stabilizing herself with one hand on the wooden frame while barely touching the green beans when a hand quicker than hers plucked them.

“Let me,” a mellow, steady voice rang out from behind her.

Ye Muyu tensed, instinctively turning to look back, just to see the man, clean-shaven, his sexy Adam’s apple pronounced, motionless.

Quite similar to his temperament.

“Oh,” Ye Muyu stepped back, watching as Chu Heng easily picked the tender beans, not needing any help from the laborers to carry a basket.

One hand was strong and skilled, the other precise in its aim—picking beans, an ordinary task, couldn’t hide the aura he carried.

Chu Heng’s demeanor became even more restrained, and his mood was more elusive than ever.

This was Ye Muyu’s impression of Chu Heng after his memory loss over this period of time.

She was actually a bit puzzled. Logically, although Chu Heng had lost his memory, retaining only his instincts, he was still a man in his twenties, yet his presence seemed as calm as a man in his forties.
